​
The “Provision for income taxes” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) is based on an estimate of the Company’s annualized effective income tax rate and discrete items recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Valuation Allowance

In the tax year ending December 31, 2023, the Company evaluated the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets and determined that in accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), the objective negative evidence of a three-year cumulative pre-tax net loss, primarily due to the settlement of industry class-action lawsuits, prevented the use of the Company’s subjective positive evidence of expected future profitability in evaluating the realizability of its net deferred tax assets. As a result, a full valuation allowance was established against the Company’s deferred tax assets. As of June 30, 2024, the Company expects to remain in a three-year cumulative loss and has recorded a $0.1 million benefit against its U.S. net deferred tax assets.

Tax Receivable Agreements (“TRAs”)

As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s total liability under the TRAs for the tax year ending December 31, 2023 is $0.3 million. This liability is expected to be settled in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Uncertain Tax Positions

As of June 30, 2024, there have been no material changes to the Company’s uncertain tax positions since December 31, 2023 and a portion of the Company’s uncertain tax positions have a reasonable possibility of being settled within the next 12 months.
